Practical exercise

Build a fifty card bilingual sight word deck

You will build your own physical or digital deck of fifty sight word pairs. Once it exists, you only need three minutes a day to keep it alive. The deck is one of the cheapest and most powerful tools in any reader's life, and almost no Pakistani student has one of their own.
